Has anyone heard anything about these two? No site updates for either. KUL boards out of stock.

It may be some "hush-hush" thing. I don't really care about that though. I think if you have a business, either run it or don't.

They must not be "disappeared" as the recent increase in HHKB purchases has been out of control (in a good way).

Yes, I wanted a KUL, but all of KUL's Facebook, Twitter, Website has no updates for several months and Elite Keyboards site doesn't look updated for a few months. Still showing "ETA March 2016" for KUL ES-87 with Cherry Brown.

Send them an email yet? Those restock dates are usually on point, if not earlier than expected.

EDIT: And it is only 10 days past ETA.

As we are distributor of KUL in Indonesia, we can tell you that KUL production got delayed
End of April, they said will get a lot of MX Brown and Red KUL

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

I did see that EK has a new(?) Youtube channel. Only 3 subs as of this post. Hopefully everything's okay. Sorry if I came across as too irritated.

That's a relief. Hopefully they restock soon. KUL is awesome!
